Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.

It’s the day many families in India spend their lives dre aming of and saving for: their daughter’s wedding. But behind the veil of the big Indian wedding lurks a hidden menace - dowry deaths. In India, one woman dies every hour in a dowry-related case. Dowry is a social tradition where the families of Indian grooms can make endless financial demands of the bride’s family. In extreme circumstances, the newlywed bride can be murdered by her in-laws, or driven to commit suicide. And now, 101 East reveals that this deadly tradition has arrived on Australian shores.

In this new theme for Surf Sufficient, we will periodically connect with different travelers and share their views on hitting the road. Matt Whitehead is a laborer from NSW, Australia who left school at 14 and became a plumber. He's since worked to save enough money then travel the world several times over in a uniquely minimalist style that often includes bicycling long distances. He's known for having biked from Nova Scotia to Central America, having a penchant for stubbie twin fins, and going on anti-materialist rants over a good beer. In short he's one of the best humans we know. Last week, we were lucky enough to have him peddle through the Korduroy headquarters, midway through another continental journey en route to somewhere in Central America. Over a day, he imparted some wisdo...
